Hello Lovelies! As we make our resolutions and check them twice, I thought we could start a skincare version of the Weekly Challenge. Many of us wanted to use more masks, shop our stash and focus on our Skin so hopefully this thread will be an inspiration to do just that. Join us with pictures and comments down below.
Masking Spreadsheet Info
Hello every, @eshoe and I are very happy to present the BIC Masking Challenge Spreadsheet. The idea is to have an easily searchable database of masks and reviews as a reference point when we are considering our next purchase. Data integrity was important to us so instead of everyone inputing data directly into the spreadsheet where theoretically information could be deleted or edited we have the questionnaire. It should take no longer then 1-2 minutes with the option for a more detailed review (which you can copy from your post on this thread).
Remember the idea is not to replace this thread. I personally love reading, commenting and interacting with all you amazing women here and that shouldnโt change. This would just be on top of that. Hopefully the more people that partake in this, the larger database of information weโll have for reference. It will be extra effort in the beginning but then we would only need to input any new mask weโve tried.
Additional Info:
Since we arenโt allowed to post links, please PM or myself for it. You will also find this information on the original post so you donโt need a database to search for this post!
Incase you need some help to filter/search results, try this :-
Search Specific Word or Phrase โ> Edit -> Find and Replace -> Search Word
Filter/Organize by Columns --> Data -> Create a Filter -> Select Options
There are 2 ways to edit a response:
1) Once you have completed a survey, click on the "Edit Your Response" link on that page. Once this page is closed, the only way to make a change is to:
2) PM @Aaliaa or @eshoe to make the change directly in the response spreadsheet
Thanks @eshoe for putting this together!
Rules
Each week there will be a new Masking Challenge posted. It will range from type of mask, brand specific week or fun challenges along the way.
Choose mask, take picture (with mask on or before), place mask on face, relax and dream of the next Sephora purchase you want to make, remove mask for healthier skin.
Have Fun!!
P.S. If you have any suggestions or challenge recommendations feel free to message me and I'll add them to the list.

Merry Masking!
Thanks @lmaster ... I really do take my best photos covered in goo lol
Too cute @missjeanie !!! Congrats on the rank-up!!! Thanks for your thoughts on this mask! I think I would like this one just for that cooling sensation lol. I hope to see them pop up at winners/marshalls here!
@veronika23 Thanks! I was genuinely surprised at how cold it got. I've had masks and such that give a minty cooling feeling before, but my face was actually cold to the touch. So weird, yet so cool... I'm going to save one of these masks for the summer when its stupid hot instead of right now in the stupid cold lol
@missjeanie Oh I hope I can find some! Yes that would be good for hot summer days!!!
This sounds like such a great mask (and by that I mean fun๐) @missjeanie! Maybe Iโll plan a Friday stop at my TJโs to see if theyโve put anything new out. I asked one of their SAโs how often they put out new products and she said every morning except for Sun & Mon๐๐ผ
eta: I tototally missed the pic last night and saw it from my feed-how cute are you๐!!!
Ha ha @eshoe I actually did have some fun with this one. It really isn't something that I'd do if I didn't have the extra time, but it wasn't as bad to clean up as I thought it would be and it was kinda fun taking selfies in the bathroom. I've also been LOVING TJX and Winners recently. I feel like I've found some great deals on a variety of products, with those stores though... sometimes you find everything... others you can go in and scour the place and find nothing. And Thanks, I for sure felt pretty cute last night lol
Well you certainly looked adorable @missjeanie! I think these are some pretty fun masks. My TJโs was great for a while but itโs really quieted down. Iโll probably stop by tomorrow just to see if thereโs anything good, but Iโm not hoping for much๐
@missjeanie Oh my goodness, I love it! You're just adorable!! Your first run at it was definitely better than mine! Haha!! Nice job! โ and that lipstick is such a pretty shade! ๐ Congrats on ranking up! ๐
I did my second round of rubber tonight too! ๐ I'll be posting here in a minute!
@Shosh85 I think the mixing went ok... I need to figure out how to actually get it on my face better! I will keep at it though ... at least for 3 more lol
@missjeanie Haha! Yup, it's the spreading on the face that's the hard part! ๐
@missjeanie, you are rockinโ that mask and that gorge lippie! ๐คฉ
Thanks @itsfi its not often I toss on a lipstick to go with my mask lol!
Yesterdayโs masks were centered on roses, and includes a lip mask that ties into one of this weekโs themes and was gifted to me by the fabulous @eshoe (thank you!!!). Also, eshoe is a fan of rose scents so what kind of tribute to her would be without a rose-scented product, or 4 of them?!
Lip and Sheet Masks
My morning masking involved the lip and sheet masks, and my evening masking took on two parts โ the first part being the sample of the Mahalo petal mask that I received from The Detox Company after hearing about their sample program from the amazing @veronika23 (thank you, thank you!! This sample program is going to help with my love of trying new masks while Iโm on my low buy! Iโm already sensing a large purchase of a few full size products at The Detox Company once my low buy ends! LOL!) The Sisley mask made up the tail end of my evening masking and I ended up using it as a sleeping mask just before bedtime.
Kocostar Rose Lip Mask is a hydrogel lip mask that smells subtly of roses; the scent is just strong enough that you know itโs there, which works perfectly fine by me. I layered this under the sheet mask. This one I found at Marshalls - the ingredients looked good to me, as did the price, so I decided to give it a try. A box of 5 masks was $4.99 at Marshallโs โ at $1.00 per sheet mask, this could also be an Everyday mask!
Celebeau Black Rose Aqua Mask is a black cotton mask, a smidge thicker than what I would consider a regular cotton sheet mask, but thatโs normal for the black cotton sheet masks Iโve tried. This mask smells amazing!!! Like fresh roses! It reminded me of the smell of roses from outside my bedroom window when I was a kid. Very nice. According to the package, it contains โ95% hydrating essenceโ; weโll see about that, wonโt we? The fit and adherence of the mask was good, albeit the mask itself was a long, but thatโs not uncommon; I made some minor adjustments to the usual places. Directions recommend leaving the mask on for 10-20 minutes and I ended up keeping it on for a half hour, in large part because the Kocostar lip mask is only supposed to be worn for 10 minutes so I was already pushing it with that mask; I would guess that I could have kept that mask on for another 30-45 minutes and the sheet mask might just be slightly damp. Seriously a lot of essence in the sheet mask. Thereโs a slight tackiness to the touch but nothing that a little moisturizer doesnโt address. My skin felt fresh, cool and hydrated afterwards. I havenโt seen these at Marshalls since I purchased this box, but if I do, Iโm stocking up.
I would definitely use the Kocostar rose mask again, but Iโm not sure I would purchase it, only because itโs kinda pricey at $4 per mask. You know, I take that back, I wouldnโt purchase the individually packaged rose lip mask for myself given the price, but I would pick up the 20-mask set that retails for $38. It makes for a nice treat and the price point is decent. The Kocostar rose lip mask gets an A-/B+ from me, the Celebeau Aqua Black Rose Sheet Masks gets an A!
Wash off Masks
On to the โhey, big spender!โ masks โ lol! Iโve talked about the Sisley Black Rose Cream Mask before โ I think itโs a lovely mask; itโs meant to be tissued off but given the price you pay for it, I use it as a sleeping mask to get as much time with it as I can. ๐ Costco carries it for a discounted price for its members. I wouldnโt pick it up now but I have not closed the door on the possibility that I could pick this mask up โฆ one day. Until then, I shall hoard this deluxe sample and use it sparingly as a sleeping mask. ๐
I think you'd love it @lmaster!
@itsfi I actually have that Kocostar lip mask on my line up this week to go with the theme. Thanks for your review on it. I havent tried this kind of lip mask so it will be interesting.
@GalPalVal17, I find these types of lip masks work best under a sheet mask. I have a hard time keeping them on if I'm not lying down or sitting in one place. They're not bad; my lips were particularly chapped and dry that day so I probably noticed more moisturizing and smoothing from it than I otherwise would on a typical day. Am interested to hear your thoughts on it.
@itsfi like you I'm not a huge fan of the scent of the petal mask... but in my case it's more the floral I don't like. I do agree it is a good mask and glad you liked it so far. Maybe it would be worth picking up when The Detox Market has a sale or when Mahalo has their annual sale in the fall (20% off I think). Also forgot to mention... Mahalo sometimes has jars they don't find pretty enough to sell at retail price (something like that) so they discount them. Or I've also seen overstock sales because they create the products in small batches and makes them as fresh as possible. Best way to know about these deals is to sign up for emails from the brand. Hope you feel better soon!!!!
Oooh, Iโm definitely going to sign up for emails, @veronika23! ๐ Thank you!! If you have a referrer code, PM me a link and Iโll be sure to use it. ๐ค The samples Iโve tried from the line are good so Iโll take a jar that they donโt find pretty enough any day! ๐ If they need me to take a trip to Hawaii to see the jar up close before I buy it, I think I could be talked into that. Hahaha! ๐๐
